AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
1254 AM CDT THU APR 3 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT WED APR 2 2014

12Z UA ANALYSIS HAS AN 850MB LOW IN WESTERN KANSAS WITH A WARM FRONT
EAST THROUGH CENTRAL MISSOURI. A STRONG MOISTURE PUSH WAS SOUTH OF
THE 850MB WARM FRONT WITH DEW POINTS IN THE LOW TEENS. SATELLITE
TRENDS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON SHOW CLOUDS ON THE INCREASE ACROSS THE
AREA WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
IOWA/MISSOURI BORDER EASTWARD INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS.

18Z SFC ANALYSIS HAS LOWS IN SOUTHEAST COLORADO AND ALONG THE KS/OK
BORDER SOUTHEAST OF KDDC. A STATIONARY FRONT RAN EASTWARD THROUGH
SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. DEW POINTS SOUTH OF
THE FRONT WERE IN THE 50S AND 60S. NORTH OF THE FRONT DEW POINTS
WERE IN THE 30S AND 40S WITH TEENS AND 20S ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
AND NORTHERN PLAINS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT WED APR 2 2014

STRONG WAA ALOFT WILL ALLOW ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A
COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO PERSIST THROUGH SUNSET SOUTH OF I-80.
AFTER SUNSET MOISTURE AND FORCING SLOWLY INCREASE WHICH SHOULD ALLOW
SHOWERS TO BREAK OUT ACROSS THE AREA. ALTHOUGH THE FORCING IS STILL
WEAK...A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

LATER TONIGHT ANOTHER THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL DEVELOP IN WESTERN
MISSOURI AND MOVE GENERALLY EAST NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT. THIS
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX MAY CUT OFF THE FLOW OF MOISTURE TO THE AREA
AND RESULT IN A DECREASE IN THE AREAL COVERAGE OF CONVECTION.

FORCING AND MOISTURE INCREASES AGAIN PRIOR TO SUNRISE WHICH SHOULD
ALLOW A NEW BAND OF SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG
THE IOWA/MISSOURI BORDER THAT MOVES NORTHEAST.

ON THURSDAY...THE BAND OF SHOWERS THAT DEVELOPS PRIOR TO SUNRISE
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE MORNING HOURS. A DECREASE IN
AREAL COVERAGE IN THE CONVECTION IS THEN EXPECTED DURING THE LATE
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS AS THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WEAKENS.

BY LATE AFTERNOON...THE MAIN ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYNOPTIC
SYSTEM BEGINS MOVING INTO WESTERN IOWA. FORCING/MOISTURE WILL
INCREASE AGAIN RESULTING IN AN INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE OF
CONVECTION. THE FORCING SUGGESTS THAT A RESPECTABLE BAND OF
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG THE NORTHWARD MOVING WARM FRONT.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY SHOULD OCCUR DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
POSSIBLY RIGHT AROUND SUNSET.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT WED APR 2 2014

A SYNOPTICALLY STRONG APRIL LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING OVER THE CWA
THURSDAY EVENING...RESULTING IN THE WHAT SHOULD BE THE MOST
WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THIS OVER
ALL PROLONGED EVENT. THE UPPER LOW SHOULD BE PROVIDING STRONG
FORCING ON THE NOSE OF THE DRY SLOT IN THIS PERIOD...MORE THAN
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ONE GOOD COVERAGE ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. WITH THE DEEP MOISTURE LIKELY IN PLACE IN THE
SOUTH...THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS WITH
STORMS...WHICH COULD BE NEAR SEVERE IN THE FAR SOUTH BETWEEN THE
LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. AS STORMS MOVE
NORTHEAST...THEY SHOULD RUN INTO A PROGRESSIVELY STABLE
ATMOSPHERE...THUS WHILE COVERAGE SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE QUITE
HIGH...LITTLE IF ANY STRONG INDIVIDUAL CELLS ARE EXPECTED NORTH OF A
CEDAR RAPIDS TO STERLING LINE. WINDS WILL BE RAPIDLY DECREASING AS
THE LOW MOVES OVERHEAD INITIALLY...BUT AS THE LOW LIFTS INTO
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN TOWARD MORNING...THE COLD FRONT WILL RAPIDLY MOVE
THROUGH OUR CWA. THIS ISALLOBARIC MAXIMUM SHOULD BRING A PERIOD OF
NEARLY ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS FOR ROUGHLY 8 HOURS...AS WEST WINDS OF
25 TO 30 MPH GUST TO AROUND 40 TO 45 MPH WITH SHARP COLD ADVECTION
TAKING PLACE. SOME LIGHT SHOWERS MAY LINGER THROUGH THE CWA PROCESS
IN THE NORTHWEST...WHILE THE SOUTHEAST 1/2 SEES MAINLY A DRY SLOT
PROCESS TAKING PLACE.

TEMPERATURES WILL HOLD UP IN THE MID 40 TO LOWER 50S MOST OF THE
NIGHT UNTIL THIS STRONG WEST WIND CAA SWEEP IN AND DROP LOWS TO THE
LOWER 30S NORTHWEST TO LOWER 40S EAST. HIGHS FRIDAY UNDER
CLOUDS...STRONG WINDS...AND POSSIBLY SOME LINGERING LIGHT RAIN MIXED
WITH SNOW NORTHWEST...WE SHOULD BE MAINLY STEADY ON TEMPERATURES
THROUGH THE DAY. HIGHS SHOULD REACH THE UPPER 30S NORTHWEST TO THE
LOWER 40S EAST. CLOUDS SHOULD SWEEP EAST EVENTUALLY FRIDAY
NIGHT...WITH DECREASING WINDS AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY. A SEASONALLY
COLD NIGHT IS IN STORE...WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S.

THE EXTENDED PATTERN REMAINS QUITE ACTIVE...AND GENERALLY AT RISK
FOR BEING BELOW NORMAL. SATURDAY DOES SUPPORT A RATHER HIGH
CONFIDENCE FOR QUIET WEATHER AS A PROGRESSIVE HIGH PRESSURE IS
EXPECTED TO BE OVERHEAD AROUND NOON. LIGHT WINDS AND SUNSHINE WILL
COMBINE WITH UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S TO ACHIEVE A PLEASANT WEEKEND
DAY...SOMETHING OUR CWA HAS STRUGGLED TO SEE THIS YEAR.
SUNDAY...SOUTH WINDS WILL BALANCE SOME INCREASED CLOUD COVER...TO
SEE ANOTHER DAY IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. SUNDAY REPRESENTS A NORMAL
EARLY APRIL DAY WITHIN OUR CHANGEABLE FORECAST PERIOD.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY WE HAVE VERY LOW POPS INCLUDED IN OUR
GRIDS...AS MODELS ARE BRUSHING ANOTHER LARGE SYNOPTIC STORM JUST
SOUTH OF OUR CWA. IN GENERAL...MODELS HAVE PUSHED THE CURRENT STORM
NORTH WITH TIME...AND SHOULD THE NEXT SYSTEM FOLLOW THAT TREND AS
WELL...WE WILL NEED HIGHER POPS. AS IT STANDS...I HAVE LEFT THE
MODEL BLEND INITIALIZATION POPS AS IS BEYOND SUNDAY NIGHT.
TEMPERATURES ARE A BLEND...THUS SHOULD RAIN VERIFY...WE NEED TO BE
FORECASTING HIGHS TO BE 5 TO 10 DEGREES LOWER THAN THE GOING HIGHS
IN THE LOWER TO MID 50S.
